“AI & HUMAN FREEDOM: JEWISH, CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM PERSPECTIVES”

This initiative follows a major international conference – “AI, Human Dignity, and the Free Society” – hosted in December by the Acton Institute at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, which drew hundreds of attendees from around the world.

The interfaith gathering will explore several critical questions: How do Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions understand human freedom and moral responsibility in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and automation?

What guidance do sacred texts and long-standing ethical traditions offer to ensure that technology serves—rather than supplants—human dignity?

How can interreligious cooperation help shape a humane and ethical vision for AI in contemporary society?

By placing theology, philosophy, and lived religious experience into conversation with technological innovation, the event seeks to articulate a moral compass for the digital age.
